Small packets travel faster
|
|
|
Some cables cannot handle larger packets

Each packet is sent down the fastest route at that time
|
|
|
None of the above

Detailed explanation-1: -Advantages of packet switching over circuit switching: Data packets are able to find the destination without the use of a dedicated channel. Reduces lost data packets because packet switching allows for resending of packets. More cost-effective since there is no need for a dedicated channel for voice or data traffic.
Detailed explanation-2: -Packet switching is easier and more affordable than circuit switching. Since all the bandwidth can be used at once, packet switching is more efficient because it doesn’t have to deal with a limited number of connections that may not be using all that bandwidth.
Detailed explanation-3: -Packet switching is more efficient than circuit switching because it ensures that more of the bandwidth of all cables are fully utilized. As it makes better use of resources, packet switching is more likely to reduce congestion than circuit switching.
Detailed explanation-4: -Each time one device sends a file to another, it breaks the file down into packets so that it can determine the most efficient route for sending the data across the network at that time. The network devices can then route the packets to the destination where the receiving device reassembles them for use.
